Apple Crumb Squares

I was very disappointed in this recipe. I was certain that these were going to be a hit. But...sigh....they suck. I found the recipe in my lastest Family Circle magazine. So in other words, do not make this recipe! They make look not so bad, but the texture was awful. The almond flavor in the crust was too strong. I'm not sure if they were a bar cookie or a crumb cake. The topping was flavorless and the apples seemed to have just disappeared into the cake.

Ok, I'm not even going to waste my time typing anymore. Maybe the next post will be a sucess.

Cake: Beat together the butter and sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in almond extract. On low speed, beat in flour and salt until just blended. Spread evenly into prepared pan.

Aww. I'm sorry Heidi. I hate the feeling of being disappointed in a recipe too. I hate the feeling that the recipe was bad and there's no point in trying to fix it. The feeling of precious time and materials were wasted and that I should have somehow known better. I can sympathize. Better luck next time! Have you made any more recipes from the Southern Desserts cookbook? I added that one to my collection, too. So many recipes to make, so little time.
